Can I hear from people who like their job what they do for a living, what the pros and cons are?

I am currently on short term disability leave from a retail job and I just donā€™t think I can go back. Iā€™m quite certain the other employees donā€™t like me, that management is looking to get me fired, that regional management is, too. I felt like I was being deliberately given conflicting instructions from different levels of management and that they were trying to sabotage me. I know that sounds paranoid, but I have solid things I can point to on this.

I have no idea what a job within my ā€œwindow of toleranceā€ would be. Too slow and sedentary and isolated and I get so bored itā€™s physically painful and I feel like I want to take an ice pick to my brain. Too fast and socially intensive and noisy and crowded and I have a meltdown or just completely shut down. But I have to work. My psychiatrist wonā€™t sign off on me being unable to work long term and itā€™s very hard to get long term or permanent disability for mental health and the payout isnā€™t enough for me to live off of, realistically. And Iā€™d have to live somewhere I wouldnā€™t feel safe. And I would be forced onto state insurance, which my care providers donā€™t accept. And who knows if the care providers I would line up would be on board with continuing to vouch for me not being able to work?
